You can padlock the handles together. Keeps everybody from using them.
I sometimes tied to them a long rope with a honkin' big sign on the end that said, "Mom's -- keep your mitts off". It didn't even slow the little buggers down. Now they are all grown and gone, and I wish they were still here stealing my scissors.
